Dave, not in on this interview, got to use a drone service and learned a lot about the process itself.
But he also got to learn about how effective it's been and how it's not the only limiting factor that you can't run out of nitrogen.
and just spray fungicides.
So it's neat to see that there's continuing evolution of the way drones get used in the field even more than what we had talked about the first time in our conversation.
Ryan, as you've sat here and observed your company's growth and you had a great appearance at the Iowa Ag Expo and now you're at Farm Progress Show, what has been the excitement at your booth as producers come through it?
We haven't put together necessarily straight up figures. Every field's going to vary enough. As we look at doing our in the fields, the efficiency of the field and how you're set up. So we're in wide, flat, open area up here where you can run a half mile through very easily. You get into down south, we get into some cut up acres that roll up and down the hills.
Northwest you've got some really steep banks up as you get towards Ryan and Danny's backyard where all this started at and the ability to go through those fields on the drone screen when you're mapping a field out there's a big efficiency and I can knock out the waterways, I can take out the terraces so the drone knows to stop and start within different areas of the field and make sure you've got a buffer zone for the outside edge of the field depending on what you're spraying or get away from tree lines so you don't hang the drone up if you're running your own or one of our guys is running.
So the efficiency to me is I think there's some savings on chemistry. We can take out those waterways and some of those terrace lines that are not traditionally taken out when you're doing, whether it's a flyover or whether it's a ground rig, everybody can run across those with the booms if they're able to drive it or up in the air.
So I think the efficiencies and the savings is the chemistries and how the operator effectively maps out that field to run in it.
That is good to hear that you mentioned an affiliate program because scaling a business is always one of the most difficult things to do, and finding good partners is a way that you can do it a lot quicker.
Yeah, very much so.
Yeah, no question.
So you're open to more affiliates.
So if somebody's interested in being a part of that, they can reach out to you guys.
Yeah, I know one of the first things that we talked about in our interview is your experience if you've got your first drone, and it's completely different than the experience that you're providing those of our listeners that just get their first drone.
You're fully training them, you're fully making sure that this is going to be maximized, its use, and all of the things that we can put together on a farm.
That's a lot to do in a growing company, so a great model there as well.
Sue, have you been able to put any data together on not only the effectiveness of getting into a field when it's too wet to get in with a rig, but the profitability or the cost savings measures of using a drone versus an alternative method?
So one of the things that I loved was the personal perspective that you have and the story that you have throughout your entire process of owning drones and now a drone company.
How did you use them on your operation this year?
